September in Retrospect

I feel like September has been a really up-and-down month. On one hand, I got a lot of blogging done, thanks in part to sneaking some writing in at work. On the other hand, I didn’t really have the time to do a lot of reading, and I’ve gone from being ahead in my yearly reading goals to being behind again. Time for a lot of short books, I guess!

So, 7 books read and 9 reviewed. I guess that isn’t so bad. It’s about what I managed last month. Though to keep up with my reading goals, I do need to read a little over 8 books a month. Hopefully I’ll manage that next time.

Next month, I’m hoping to get at least 10 books reviewed (this won’t actually be as hard as it sounds, since I already have 6 of them scheduled), plus at least 1 more for SF Signal. I’m due to be on a podcast soon too, which excites the hell out of me, because I’ve never been part of one before. I’m hoping to get 8 books read, though I’d like to manage more. I won’t count on it, but I will hope for it.

And my month was crazy as hell between the start of the academic year and the accompanying infolit sessions and getting ready for our big move (you guessed right!). But busy also means productive and I reached my 100 book reading goal for the year!

Congrats on making your yearly reading goal! I hate that I’ve fallen behind because this past month has been annoyingly busy and filled with stuff that prevents me from reading. I have a couple of hours today, though, during which I don’t think I’ll be able to do much but read, so maybe that’ll help with catching up. :p
